The International LoneStar

Yes I have at the mid america truck show. I have also seen one going down the road. You either love them or hate them. I hate them. From a mechanices point of view it will be very difficult to work on. From a drives view, it looks different and it will get the attention.

 

And I soooooooooooooo want one....but, I would be a nervous wreck. I can hardly leave my old Freightshaker alone in the t/s parking lot without worrying where my hood will be when I get back.

Do you imagine 24 hour security guards are a tax write off ? Perhaps I could get them included as part of the warrantee.

 

I didn't care for them when I saw the first drawings etc., but when I saw the interior and the live pictures, it is starting to grow..... Right now I will stay with my red oval.....

 

Count me amongst those who Love it. It is funky in a different way. Besides, if you ever got bored with it, just put some red paint on the bumper, and you're halfway to re-creating the 'Goblin Truck' from Maximum Overdrive!

BTW- just checked out the link, and that has got a nice looking interior too, esp the dash. The specs aren't bad; it can have a 14.6k front axle, so it can be specced for some dump work too (except maybe pulling a MI gravel train). All in all looks pretty sweet!

 

See a resemblance????

I like the the interior!

 

I like them alot, I want one. Not sure since Werner doesn't have internationals that I am aware of... my hubby likes it but he and I disagree on the want one part lol. He wants a 379 I like 379's but I ... really like... this truck. I am HOPING since its areodynamic and fairly popular Werner will take the bait, because lord knows the only reason they have 379's on the fleet is because older drivers want to drive the long nose pete, and its a marketing thing.

 

Saw one today and first thought was Truck version of PT Cruiser? I like it its sexy but is it a plastic pos like that cascadia?
